Over the last few days I've been doing some work for my HearSay 2017 presentation with Douglas Murray. I am really excited to be attending and presenting at the festival again this year, and to get to share the slot with Doug, who has been an incredible mentor, inspiration and friend to me over the last few years, is a real treat. We are going to take a look at the use of Subjective Sound in Cinema and our preparation and discussion around it has led me to think about, research and re-visit a number of things.

I thought it might be worth my putting some of these resources into a post here in case they might be of interest to anyone.

Designing for Sound by Randy Thom- I can never read this article enough. It's a great one not just sound folk, but also for writers, producers, directors and anyone with an interest in film craft. There is also a great podcast interview with Randy on SoundWorks Collection, here, that expands on this idea further. His ability to talk about the work is quite unique and elegant.
